Protean's in-depth SatCom expertise and our experiential insights make us your ideal partner in capitalizing from the continuously advancing SatCom landscape. As the traditional boundaries of Fixed, Mobile and Broadcasting Satellite Systems (FSS/MSS/BSS) get blurred through constant advances in satellite technology, the interplay and overlap of allied terrestrial technologies such as wireless (Wi-Max), cellular (3G/4G) and coverage area augmentations (ATC/CGC), the ubiquity of location-based technologies GPS and satellite digital radio (SDARS), as well as the pervasion of IP-based Audio/Video/Web applications it is possible to synthesize novel high-performance cost-effective SatCom solutions by adapting, combining and re-purposing a range of available and emerging information communication technologies.

Even when the particular SatCom technology to be used seems evident, such as the use of VSATs, there are several inter-dependent, top-down and bottom-up complex engineering optimizations required across physical, data-link and network OSI layers while considering the specific real-time delay, jitter-tolerance characteristics and settings of data, video and voice applications in order to maximize the performance and minimize costs of a converged IP VSAT network. Protean is conversant with all the leading SatCom vendors and can help in choosing a combination of vendor equipment-complement or a service-provider based on technical and other criteria. Our vendor-agnostic outlook ensures that the most-appropriate scalable, cost-effective vendor solution is chosen to allow our clients to maximally benefit form their investment. At times, it even makes sense to consider unconventional solutions from non-TDMA vendors for reasons such as topology-flexibility and bandwidth efficiency.

At Protean we have a passion to develop innovative ICT Solutions that provide affordable and effective ways to address needs of developing economies. By combining our technical know-how, experiential insights and client sensibilities developed over decades with advances such as SDARS and cellular technologies we can cost-effectively address needs such as:

We are also experienced in combining the aforementioned Development Solutions with Commercial Solutions for private enterprises by way of Public Private Partnerships (PPP) to make projects self-sustaining. We can address commercial requirements such as:

We are currently looking to work with NGOs to exploit the full potential of an upcoming Android tablet implementation of an innovative concept mentioned in our paper in the Online Journal of Space Communications.
